Introduction


In this episode of The Enlightened Life Podcast, Scott Allan sits down with Alicia Farricielli, founder of Frequency of Her, for a conversation that’s as soul-stirring as it is practical. If you’ve ever wondered how spirituality and leadership intersect—or how mindfulness can change the way you lead, love, and live—this one’s for you.Never Burn Out The Secret Revealed

Alicia’s story is a testament to personal growth and the power of spiritual awakening. From pre-dawn to-do lists and the invisible labor of single motherhood, to the relentless drive that led to spiritual burnout, Alicia’s journey is both deeply personal and universally relatable. She describes how the constant hustle eventually became a cage, one that stifled her inner peace and left her restless for true transformation.

What changed? Alicia chose to step off the hamster wheel and embark on a spiritual journey—one that prioritized consciousness, inner peace, and authentic presence over performance. Through mindfulness practices like breathwork, nervous system regulation, and honest self-inquiry, she found not just stress relief, but a new way of being. Her awakening didn’t happen overnight. It was a gradual return to herself, a process of healing her inner child and balancing the masculine and feminine energies within.

Throughout their conversation, Scott and Alicia explore how spirituality and emotional intelligence go hand-in-hand in leadership. They discuss the importance of tuning into your own needs, recognizing when you’re leading from survival mode, and how the path to sustainable success starts with self-worth and inner alignment. Alicia shares practical tools for stress relief and encourages listeners to honor their own spiritual journey—reminding us that transformation is possible when we’re willing to do the inner work.

Alicia’s message is clear: The real revolution in women’s leadership isn’t about working harder or carrying more. It’s about awakening to your own consciousness, finding your flow, and leading from a place of embodied mindfulness and spiritual authenticity. Whether you’re navigating spiritual burnout or simply seeking more meaning in your life and work, Alicia’s wisdom will inspire you to follow your soul’s calling and embrace your own transformation.

It’s 5.47 a.m., the city’s still dark, but Alicia Farricielli is wide awake. Her mind racing with to-do lists, client calls, and the quiet ache of holding it all together. For years, this was her normal. Single motherhood, relentless drive, and the invisible labor of keeping every plate spinning.

But what happens when the hustle becomes a cage, when having it all starts to feel like losing yourself? Alicia’s answer wasn’t just to keep pushing. It was to break the cycle, to stop performing it, to start leading from a place of deep embodied presence. Today, she’s on a mission to help high achieving women everywhere, lay down the armor, reconnect with their bodies and rewrite the rules of power. One nervous system at a time.  Never Burn Out The Secret Revealed

My guest today says that the real revolution in women’s leadership isn’t about working harder, it’s about coming home to yourself. Alicia Farricielli is the founder of Frequency of Her, a transformational brand for women who are done with burnout and hungry for a new kind of success, one that feels good on the inside as it looks on paper. She’s lived the grind, survived the overwhelm, and now teaches the science and soul of sustainable leadership.

I’m Scott Allan and this is the Enlightened Life Podcast where we go beneath the surface to discover the stories, strategies, and soul shifts that make true transformation possible. Let’s dive in.

Alicia, welcome to the show. I’m so glad you’re here.

Alicia Farricielli (01:47.828)
Thank you so much. I’m super excited about our conversation today and I’m extremely blessed to be here. So thank you.

Scott Allan (01:54.584)
Thank you so much. know. feel like we’ve been doing this for a while, you know, back and forth and reschedule and everything. We’ve made it and you’ve built the frequency of her out of your own lived experience, single motherhood, business launches and the weight of holding it all. Why do you think that so many high achieving windup women end up carrying this invisible emotional labor? And what’s the real cost?

Alicia Farricielli (01:59.016)
Yes.

Alicia Farricielli (02:06.804)
Yes.

Alicia Farricielli (02:22.08)
Wow. Okay. Yeah. So I’m a firm believer in societal norms have brought us to this point. As women, we’re supposed to, and men have this too. So I’m absolutely like men have so much just as equal amount of was dressed to you. But women are taught they have to hold everything together. We’re supposed to be the nurturing and then we’re supposed to go into this. mean, if you’re in the corporate field, you’re supposed to act a certain way. You’re supposed to be a certain way. And then you’re supposed to come home and be maybe the wife or

the mother or even if you’re not your single, you’re not married with kids, you’re supposed to perform a certain way. And so it’s really hard to take those two things together, those two personalities and weave them into one. It’s actually pretty impossible. And so even if you’re like, I work with lot of business owners and they’re finding that they’re stressed out, they’re struggling because they’re staying in what I call more of their masculine power, which is a beautiful thing.

But as women, it’s harder for us to just stay in that. It’s not necessarily our normal nature. And so we’re expected to have, a nurturing person, but we’re also supposed to also be a man in certain ways. So it’s like, you’re asking for these things through society. And it’s brought upon, you know, through, you know, conditioning from, you know, our parents coming down, you know, like from ancestral things coming, being passed down. And so a lot of these ties and like a lot of these generational things are, they’re just not working in this world anymore.

people are burning out, men are burning out too, women are burning out too, because they’re not coming back home into what I call your true self, your true soul self. And so when we’re not coming home to that and leading from that intuitive power that we have, and we’re listening to what all the world’s telling us, we become a different person.

Scott Allan (04:08.162)
Yeah. Yeah. And I can tell you, yes. And I can tell you from experience because I am a single dad. So I have a 12 year old and, it’s funny cause I’m listening to you talk and I’m thinking, yeah, and I not only have to be the dad and to earn the money and to bring it home, but I also to be the mother. And, and you know, and I say that I sort of joke about it, but it’s true. I’ve had people actually celebrate me on mother’s day. they say, you do both roles and you know, I’m not a mother, right? But at the same time you have to

be everything and it all falls on you. I get where you’re coming from. For you, what was your breaking point when you realized this just isn’t working anymore?

Alicia Farricielli (04:50.016)
I spent numerous years, I take people back to my childhood. I don’t want to too much into my childhood, my childhood was a group in a very strict, fear-based religious background. And so that was brought upon me. And so I feared everything and I didn’t question, I wasn’t taught to think for myself. I was taught to think the certain way. If you didn’t think the certain way, there were lots of consequences behind that. But I truly knew when I came into the world, like this was not, this is not right. But I’m still,

Scott Allan (05:17.805)
Mm-hmm.

Alicia Farricielli (05:19.296)
fighting those norms, the fear norms that were put inside me. And so it got to the point, I think I’d had, you know, multiple businesses in and out of my life, corporate careers. I was a single mom for, I don’t know, 12 years or 10 or 12 years. Like I get back, married now, happily married now. My kids are out of the house. But doing all that, and then it was just like this hamster wheel cycle of like, I would go to work or start my business and then I would…

I everyone else and I still trying to please every single person outside of me. Trying to make them happy with me. The thought my self-worth was reliant upon how much I did or what I did and how much I earned and what other people thought of me. And if I kept going more and more and more, I would actually be worthy. So it hit probably right 2018 or 19 or so. I just had a breaking point. I was like, I can’t continue to go to be like this. My business was suffering.

I was overworked, I was overwhelmed. That was my suffering. It was profitable, but I was suffering. I was working 80 something hours a week, burnt out, didn’t even want to get up the next morning, but I had to get up and go. My daughter was 16 years old at the time, was a very difficult, 15 or 16, you that was a very difficult relationship for us because she was trying to her independence and I was trying to raise her within the things that I had learned from my parents, which didn’t work for me. Now, obviously we’re not gonna work for her.

That was the struggles there. And was like, I can’t. I could have been said, okay, I looked at the higher, I, but whatever higher source power university we call out there. I was like, I can’t do this anymore. Either I’m done with this, my living this life or else something’s gotta change. Luckily today I’m still here, obviously. And so that started to change us. Alief started, I started noticing different things, started perspectives. And it was a long process from there. It’s been a long process from 2018 until today to get some of these patterns.

out of me. Then I hired a coach in between 2018. Yeah, a little bit after COVID, I hired a coach to help me out. I was actually starting to coach other women on how to start businesses, but they couldn’t, didn’t even think they had the mindset to start the business. of course, don’t know, coaching is like the reflections a lot of times of things that you need to work on, which is beautiful things. And so was like, I probably need to work on my mindset. So then I hired my coach. She taught me how to energy work. So introduced me.

Alicia Farricielli (07:45.898)
to that introduced me to a whole new tons of modalities. And so I started going down the rabbit hole and learned breath work and meditation, course, know, energy healing. I’m now work people through hypnosis and path life regression. So it’s like all these modalities that we have already inside of us to be able to heal us. And so that’s what I teach people how to do is to take these modalities, I’ll work with them on this and try to teach them to modalities too.

to start to heal yourself and start to bring that self-worth back into yourself. Because that’s really, I mean, you’re the key. Nothing else can give you that. You’re the key to that. You’re the key to anything you want in your life. It’s right inside of you.

Scott Allan (08:27.468)
Right. So burnout really is, I mean it’s everywhere, right? So what are some signs, if you’ve got people listening today, you know, for a woman, you know, what are some signs that she’s leading from urgency or survival mode rather than true presence? How do you notice that in yourself?

Alicia Farricielli (08:32.405)
Yeah.

Alicia Farricielli (08:44.998)
I love, thank you for bringing that up. So if you’re sitting in bed and you’re so exhausted, but you can’t go to sleep, you can’t fall asleep, your mind continuously races, you have anxiety going on, burnout, you don’t find joy in what you do anymore. Something that used to be passionate to you, it just absolutely becomes almost an obstacle, something you have to do every single morning. You’re really not enjoying life.

I mean, that’s the biggest key too, is like you can sit back and say, am I really enjoying life? Am I spending the time on myself? No, I’m burning out. And so those are two of the biggest things, is looking at the joy in your life and then looking at how your nervous system is. Is your nervous system, you have all this anxiety and you can’t slow your mind down and you’re just walking around like this all the time. Maybe you’re the opposite and you have no energy and you can’t seem to get yourself out, up and out.

Classic sign to burnout.

Scott Allan (09:43.48)
Yeah, so you know, your work is grounded in neuroscience and somatic tools. And for those listening who are new to these ideas, how does nervous system regulation impact, you know, the way we lead, love and succeed in life?

Alicia Farricielli (09:57.952)
So we have our basic needs, we need that, right? We have our shelter, need a safe roof over our head, right? Somewhere safe, could be on your shirt, long as you’re safe, have a safe surroundings. Then we need food, right? And water. Okay, I’m not gonna add clothing, that’s part of the safety. Once we have these things, we should be able to function very well in society, but we’re not, because why? Our nervous systems are out. So we still have what they call the tiger, the old…

phrase, the tiger’s chasing us. So back in the days, yes, we literally were had friends to our environment. And so our nervous system through DNA, previous back generations has not adapted to that. So now everything’s the tiger chasing us. We get an email we don’t like, we get a phone call we don’t like. We’re watching TV, my gosh, TV. TV is the classic example. That will put your nervous system out. You’re watching high crime, you know.

You’re watching all this stuff going on that’s putting your nervous system out because you’re still where your brain is still relating that as you’re in that experience. So if you’re continuously putting this stuff into your brain and you’re continuously treating every little thing like it’s the end of the world, which we are, meet people out there road raging, somebody pulls out in front of you, you think you’re like, basically are trying to kill you, you know, that’s because your nervous system is going, I’m not safe. And it comes back to, have.

We have two, we have multiple parts of our brain, but two parts of our brain that are very, very important on this. So we have our amygdala that’s in the back of our brain, is the one that says, there’s a tiger chasing us, there’s a threat, this is a threat, a threat, a threat. And if we grew up in the type of trauma and unsafety, then our prefrontal cortex is in the front going, I don’t know how to deal with this. Instead of being the part that says, no, you’re safe, that’s just a car.

a horn, somebody blowing their horn at you, or that’s just a dog barking. And so we’re walking around just constant. So I’ll get back to if we can’t have that, we don’t feel like our basic needs are not met, which is what we’re in survival-ness. We can’t thrive in life because our bodies and our minds are thinking, I have to survive, I have to survive. So we’re not making clear decisions. We’re not making correct decisions for our best good because our body’s in survival mode.

Scott Allan (11:51.278)
Mm-hmm.

Alicia Farricielli (12:15.456)
There’s some scarcity mode. There’s not enough stuff for me out there. So therefore I have to act in accordance to keep you myself surviving. And it’s not that we are in survival mode, technically. mean, we are not in the same environments as our ancestors were. Most of us are not. Some of us are in very, there are people out there that are in definitely in this type of environment. But most of us are not, but our bodies are so conditioned. So then we have to come back and we have to start to calm down that nervous system.

Scott Allan (12:24.398)
Thanks.

Scott Allan (12:33.1)
Sure.

Alicia Farricielli (12:45.438)
that biggest nerve and we have, it’s a work in progress of letting ourselves know that we’re safe because that’s the key. That’s the key to calming your nervous system is to let your body and your mind and everything know that you are safe. And once you understand that, then it starts to just kind of starts to calm down and you can think clearly.

Scott Allan (13:03.52)
Is that is that would you say one of the ways to start regulating today is just kind of like bringing yourself into that awareness?

Alicia Farricielli (13:12.02)
Definitely awareness. And then when you have that awareness, the next thing you do is I just simply place my hand on my heart and take a deep breath in. And we’re going to breathe in through our belly, not through our hearts, not like this, we’re breathing in through our belly all the way up and just bringing that energy and breath all the way to the top of your crown, holding it for a moment and then just slowly releasing it. And you do that a few rounds of that, your nervous system is going to calm down.

That’s to be the easiest. can do that. People can do that in front of people. You literally be doing breathing in front of people. And nobody’s going to know.

Never Burn Out The Secret Revealed

Scott Allan (13:47.724)
Yeah. Well, we hopefully we’re all breathing in front of other people.

Alicia Farricielli (13:51.008)
Yes, well people you’d be surprised people like say they’re breathing but they’re like You know, they’re holding their breath in and it’s like that creates tension in your body

Scott Allan (13:55.425)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Scott Allan (14:01.358)
So let’s take a minute, I’d love to talk a little bit about feminine leadership. So in business, we’re often told to lean in and to be tougher, right, to match masculine energy. What’s your take on balancing softness but also strength and why is it so hard for women to feel safe being both, I guess?

Alicia Farricielli (14:08.586)
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Alicia Farricielli (14:20.608)
So when you look at, I’m take corporate environment, for instance, which is where a lot of this came from, is we were told that, first of all, women didn’t go into the workforce for a while, right? And so it’s always been more of a masculine because the men, I mean, typically in past generations would go to work and the women stayed at home and raised the children, right? Then all of sudden the women went into the workforce, right? Most of the women. And so now we have this masculine environment that people have taught.

And so women are supposed to come in and they’re supposed to be quick with their decisions. They’re supposed to come in, they’re supposed to be leaders. But then again, they’re not supposed to be too strong because then they’re told they’re a certain word or they’re told they’re a certain way. But it’s this balance that goes back and forth. it’s bringing the masculine portion of it is beautiful too. And it’s the time to get stuff done, but it’s the protector of yourself.

Scott Allan (15:17.389)
Mm-hmm.

Alicia Farricielli (15:18.322)
It’s the state, that safety that comes in there. The feminine portion is the beauty part. So if we stay in our masculine all the time, we become very rigid. We’re not in our lot. We’re more logical. We’re thinking completely logically. But if we stay in our feminine all the time, we’re not getting anything done. We’re just creative little butterflies floating around. And that would be me. You’ll have to catch myself on this too. Like, we’re gonna do this. I’m gonna float here. We want to do this. That’s our feminine portion of ourselves. We have to combine the two of it. So there’s

certain times that we have to invest into the logical portions of things. There are times that we have to work a little harder and do a little things, but we have that balance too. And it’s all in alignment with what you are. And it’s called the flow state. So when we get into a flow state of what we’re doing, it’s okay for us to want to add a little more extra to it, a little extra time, a little bit effort to it, because we’re still in that flow state, which is still that feminine flow, that feminine portion of it, is staying in that flow state.

It’s a balance that I can’t tell a certain person, like you should have 50 % this or 50 % that. Everybody’s different. Everybody has what’s a natural balance to them. But we have to have both energies. We have to have both ways of doing the work, business in the world too.

Scott Allan (16:34.882)
You talk about the inner child too. And so what is that, how does that play into things in terms of leadership relationships and so forth?

Alicia Farricielli (16:43.136)
Oh, wow. So your inner child, if it is not, I don’t want to say tamed, but if you have not connected with your inner child and you’re letting it lead the show subconsciously.

then your life is, all over the place. So imagine if you allowed a three to five year old come in and run your business. I mean, we see that in the world going on now. And so if we tap into the inner child and let our inner child know that it’s safe and it’s calm and you know what, I’m the adult now and I’m gonna take care of you. And I’m gonna let you play, but I’m also going to, we’re also gonna have some boundaries around this or I’m gonna let you.

Scott Allan (17:05.699)
Mm-hmm.

Alicia Farricielli (17:22.462)
be angry and I’m gonna let you process these feelings that you didn’t get to process as a child and it’s okay and there’s a safe place for you to do that. And so it’s almost like it’s this little three to five year old that stays on your hip all the time. If you ignore a three to five year old, what does it do? It gets mad, it gets angry, pitches a fit or pouts, right? And what good does that do? But if you pay attention to the three and five year old and be like, it’s okay, you’re safe.

We’re going to go play in about five. We’ll play tomorrow. Today we’re going to do the work. This can be like, OK, cool. So it’s a way that you it’s almost like you’re repairing that little portion that’s inside of you that wants to act out. It wants to, but it wants to play at the same time.

Scott Allan (18:08.824)
Yeah. So for all the women listening right now who feel like they’re at the end of their rope, what would you suggest as the first step they take towards feeling free again?

Alicia Farricielli (18:19.232)
I’m gonna have to go back to the inner child to start digging into some inner child work and figure out what your triggers are coming from that inner child. What did you not get when you were a child? And we’re not gonna blame our parents because they were human beings and nobody’s perfect. But what did you not get? Did you not get the love? Did you not get the safety? Did you not get attention? What did you not get? Well, how can you give that to yourself now in that safe manner? So once you start to heal the inner child, then take back and

I mean, I actually was speaking at an event yesterday and I had an exercise that what is something that you’re doing that doesn’t feel in alignment or flow with your business on a daily basis? If it’s like you’re checking your emails first thing in the morning, go back and call yourself out on that. Like, hey, this is just not, and get really honest, this is not working for me. And how are we gonna ride this to a flow state? Well, for instance, instead of checking your emails at 9 or 8.30 in the morning, maybe you spend the first 10 minutes doing a creative

exercise, writing or doing journaling or taking a walk outside. The first thing you want to do is calm that nervous system down in the morning. So once you start to do that and you understand where you’re a flow, then I would say then start working on your nervous system. But you really need to get in touch with that inner child first, because you can work on your inner your nervous system and do all this work. But if your inner child is still acting out. You’re only going to get so far.

Scott Allan (19:33.091)
Mm-hmm.

Scott Allan (19:44.654)
I’m curious too, because you had mentioned that, you you’re starting this, you had a 16, 15, 16 year old daughter at home, know, teenagers, girls, I mean, it’s no joke, right? How did your changing and your, you know, the way that you started approaching things affect her? I mean, did you see positive changes in her as well? And because now that she’s grown, you must see her, hopefully, as the person you would want her to be.

Alicia Farricielli (20:14.816)
Absolutely. She’s a beautiful, beautiful person. And we had some times and I look back and now I’m apologizing. I’m like, I’m so sorry. I didn’t allow her to speak when she needed to speak. I didn’t allow her to process emotions because I wasn’t taught how to process emotions. I had to relearn how to process emotions and accept that they’re okay. So there are things that I know that I did, but we have such a great relationship. She’s one of my closest bestest friends. And so that’s our relationship now is

Scott Allan (20:14.872)
based on.

Alicia Farricielli (20:44.404)
I mean, yes, I’m her mother, but she’s also my friend. And so we’ve able to grow and she’s able to come, like she came, a retreat I hosted, she helped me co-host it. So she got into kind of seeing what a lot of the growth is. And so she’s got to actually witness a lot of my growth. And I’ve noticed a lot of growth in her too, because as parents, we are examples for our children. Even if we don’t have the greatest relationship for them, we’re either gonna teach them how to be like us, which is…

could be a good, could be bad, or to be the opposite of us, which could be good or could be bad.

Scott Allan (21:19.95)
So you spent over 20 years in marketing PR and entrepreneurship. You don’t do that anymore, right? Is this kind of, or do you still work in that field? You’re out of that now, right?

Alicia Farricielli (21:28.562)
yes, I don’t, I don’t work in marketing or PR. couldn’t tell you it’s been years. Don’t, don’t call me to hire. They’re gonna hire me.

Scott Allan (21:36.68)
I’m curious though how your own leadership style changed as you learn to regulate, you know, your nervous system and lead from the presence instead of your performance.

Alicia Farricielli (21:46.305)
Yeah, I have a very, a lot less smaller team. I do a lot of stuff myself. I write, I do all my social media for me. It’s not that I couldn’t hire somebody else, just more authentic to me, what comes to me. I do multiple, I do things I wanna do. And so instead of doing things that people say, well, this is gonna grow your business or this is, you need to do this. It’s like, does this feel authentic to me? What I wanna do? Is this something I actually wanna do? And.

Scott Allan (21:51.63)
Yeah.

Alicia Farricielli (22:15.69)
A lot of times it’s not, so I don’t do that. I’m very particular about the people that I work with, the clients I work with, before I would take on anyone. In between that was in real estate too. I was for seven years. And I wouldn’t matter if you wanted to buy a $50,000 lot and you were gonna treat me horribly, I was that desperate to have to prove myself. Like, no, I’m gonna do this, I’m gonna do this. Somebody called me today, not during real estate now, but they called me today. I wouldn’t take that client on.

Scott Allan (22:45.41)
Yeah.

Alicia Farricielli (22:45.93)
So that’s changed a lot in the way I do business. Boundaries. Boundaries, yeah. Yeah.

Scott Allan (22:51.692)
Yeah. Well, and it’s funny you mentioned social media, right? And there is a pressure to show up perfectly, right? Everything needs to be perfect. That’s our you know, where we are, right? Everything needs to be pertless. it’s perfect. And it’s relentless. So is this a curse? Is it a blessing or something else for for women? leadership and of course, mental health?

Alicia Farricielli (23:19.754)
think it was a curse for so long, but I think everybody’s realizing how inauthentic social media is now. I think they’re realizing that the people that get on there, and it’s not the people that get on there and spread their tears and they’re crying their hearts out. And we went through a whole season of that. I think people just crying, which was a little over the top. are certain things you don’t want to, I mean, things you want to keep private to yourself for your healing, for your own personal healing. You don’t want to throw everything.

Scott Allan (23:33.358)
you

that goes on in your life out there. And so think we’re gonna come back to a balance of it. And I think that the people who are more authentic with what they have to say, they’re listening to, I guess, the divine, they’re listening to whatever is coming through for them are the ones people are gonna start to follow. I’m not saying that it’s bad to have a perfectly polished video, whatever, but people are start to realize that’s no different than watching TV.

Scott Allan (24:17.454)
Mm-hmm.

Alicia Farricielli (24:18.08)
And so people want, think they’re really, really craving the authentic, truth, they’re really craving all this right now. And so the more that people, especially business owners can show up and say, you know what, I had a bad day today, this is what happened, but this is how it overcame it. Not from a, am higher and better than you and I hustled to get there, but it’s a lesson behind that. Not a, should hire me because I’m okay and I have $20 billion in the bank, you know, that mentality, but it’s.

Let’s get real and grow. It’s like they want growth together. It’s the connection that people are missing.

Scott Allan (24:53.742)
You’re passionate about emotional intelligence. So how does EQ drive leadership results and do you have any mind shifts you can share for women to move from over-functioning to really the solo line success, I guess you would say.

Alicia Farricielli (25:08.382)
Yeah. As leaders, we’re not emotionally intelligent, we don’t know how to hire emotionally intelligent people. We don’t know how to lead our business.

Businesses fail for so many different reasons. And one of them is from burnout, right? From not making aligned decisions. And if we’re not emotionally intelligent, by emotionally intelligent, I mean, we understand our emotions and we’re able to process through them. And we’re reacting through our emotions. We’re not pushing emotions away and we’re not just numbing them down. We’re processing. I’m a little upset right now. So I’m gonna go.

Never Burn Out The Secret RevealedScott Allan (25:27.438)
Mm-hmm.

Alicia Farricielli (25:49.535)
and think about this for a few minutes, calm myself down, do some nervous system regulation on this. And then I’m gonna approach it. I’m not gonna shove it down and avoid it, or I’m not gonna just bash somebody or yell at someone. I’m gonna come back and then I can come and say, you know what, what you did made me feel this way. And now I realize the reason why I felt this way is because of this. So how do we solve this problem?

instead of having so many angry people around. And so in order to do that is to really drive the emotional intelligence portion of it too. Once we start to get in that and we’re okay with being with our emotions, and as women we’re told in the workplace and business, we’re not supposed to have emotions, right? Even men, you’re not allowed to, you’re not supposed to have emotions.

Scott Allan (26:46.443)
or sleep.

Alicia Farricielli (26:46.643)
Emotions are what drives decisions. When we think about somebody buying something, they’re buying off of emotion, right? So if we’re taking emotion out of everything,

Scott Allan (26:58.296)
Well, that’s it. Yeah, yeah. So what are you working on now? What’s lighting you up in your own growth?

Alicia Farricielli (26:58.581)
What good does it do? Yeah.

Alicia Farricielli (27:07.415)
wow. And we’re actually working on my book is coming next. I keep saying that at end of the year. And it’s going to be more of a feminine leadership written more in a poetry style. Just kind of words of wisdom that flow through that really want to bring a remembrance to women who remember who they are, that we’re not who not what we were born into, but who we are deep down in our soul level. That’s what

That’s my next project on top of the other stuff.

Scott Allan (27:39.246)
That’s perfect, perfect. You know, as we get near the end here, I’d like to just give you an opportunity to sort of chat and share, you know, whether it’s a final thought, a message, or even what you’ve got going on, how people can reach you, and all of that kind of thing.

what you’re facing right now, what you need help with and leadership wise. Let’s see what comes through.

I just, mean, what’s really coming through is for women to follow the path that they feel called to, not what their parents told them they needed to go, not what their friends telling them. They have a deep desire and a passion, just this huge dream that’s put inside their hearts and they think they can’t do it, they can. And just to make that step and just go for that. Because you know that’s what your soul wants. That’s what you want in your, out of your life. And you’re really the only person that’s gonna stop that.
